Flight EZY2027 from Manchester to Ibiza was diverted on Thursday morning to Paris Charles de Gaulle due to a passenger “behaving disruptively” onboard, EasyJet confirmed to The Sun.

The Brit was reportedly “off his face” at 5.40am, swearing at and threatening others on the plane.

Other passengers said the flight crew told them that it would cost the airline £20,000 to land, take off again, and join the flight path.

The rowdy passenger, dressed in shorts and a hoodie, was escorted off the flight in Paris and met by waiting cops, before the plane took off for the second time to head to the popular party island.

Someone said to “look at the state” of the man and others jeered as the Brit was removed from the plane.

One witness said: “He just started kicking off in mid-air on his own. He was literally just off his face.

“The air hostess couldn’t calm him down so the other passengers started shouting at him to calm down.

“He was just swearing at everyone and pointing his finger at people
threateningly, offering everyone a fight.”

The witness said they overheard air crew talking about how the “whole thing about landing” would cost £20,000 and they try to avoid diverting planes but “the lad was all over the place.”

The witness added: “It was quite worrying for everyone else.”

An EasyJet spokesman said the flight was able to continue once the “disruptive” passenger had been “taken off the flight”.

He said: “EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.

“Whilst such incidents are rare we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always EasyJet’s highest priority.”
